Pros

There are some very dedicated, highly trained staff who work there. Offers a large amount of education and certifications.

Cons

From the C-suite up, money is the priority. Of it means people's lives and patient safety, money is still their priority. Severe retaliation from the Executive VP, Chatman, down the ladder if any safety concerns are brought forward. They say it's "peoplecare" and say it's about safety, but it is all about hiding things and money. They do not care one lick about staff or patients. They only care about looking good in the community and cutting corners. It wasn't like this before Chatman. I mean cutting corners, yes, but hiding safety issues instead of fixing them, no. As long as she is there, there is no hope for a just culture. And now that they are being investigated by the Department of Justice for red lining and race discrimination, I'm sure she will be promoted into Candice Saunders CEO/president position. It's sad. God bless the people who care and still work there.

Pros

Diversified Varied shifts Diversified Varied locations

Cons

Games get played with promotions!!! Job descriptions are changed to allow certain people into positions then changed back. Regardless of tenure, one can be passed up for promotions because the "powers that be" want a particular person in a role that is a "yes man/woman" instead of someone more qualified. People have even been promoted into director roles without having a degree and/or little to no experience vs someone with a degree or years of experience. Raises are not fairly given. Again, tenure does not matter. Compensation needs to bring positions and salaries up to the current market value, Work life balance is a joke!!!!
